Fuel Polisher
DO NOT use the fuel polisher. It requires a unique use of the fuel manifold
and pumps 150 gallons per hour. Misuse can dump excessive amounts of
fuel into the water and subject the operator to a large fine!
Galley
Stove The Dickinson Range on Lioness is of the highest quality. This is
one instance where there is little difference between the boat and your
home. The fuel source for the range is propane. The propane tanks (2) are
located under the bench seat on the flybridge. The compartment is
ventilated. When the tank is empty you must change the hose to the new
tank. Remember that propane hoses are ‘reverse threaded’ so you will turn
it to the left to tighten. Open the tank valve on the new tank and shut-off
the valve for the empty tank.
To operate the range:
1.
Turn on the “L.P.G.” electrical breaker on the main power panel. It is
located in the center column, 6
th
from the bottom.
2.
Turn on the LPG gas control switch located on the forward bulkhead
when facing the stove. This switch has two functions. It opens the
solenoid valve to turn on the propane. It also incorporates a propane
‘sniffer’ which will automatically turn off the gas if it ‘smells’ any
leakage. Two green lights must be on for gas to flow.
3.
Each burner on the cooktop needs to be lit
separately.
a.
Turn the control knob to the desired heat
level, and hold the knob in for 4 or 5
seconds to light the burner.
b.
There is a thermo-couple valve which will
turn off the burner if the flame blows out. When starting the
stove the control knob may need to be held in for 4-5 seconds to
activate the thermo-couple.
4.
The oven lights in the same way as the top burners. Check to make
sure the burner has lit when you first use the oven. NOTE: Light a top
burner first to purge the propane line of air before attempting to light
the oven. Look in the oven to make sure the burner is lit.
a.
The oven may be used as a broiler but care must be taken
because of the open flame.
